Hello all. New to the board and would like some input as to my final choice of speakers. First of all, my room size is 24x12x8. I have a Denon AVR2105, and an Epson projector. My viewing distance is about 12 feet from the screen (pull down approx 8x4). I have 3 choices in mind, 1st is m50+qs8+vp100, 2nd is m50+qs4+vp150 and my 3rd is m60+qs4+vp100. I have a sub, which I will upgrade in the furure. I basically use the system to watch movies. Any and all input would be appreciated. Thanks, Jack.

obviously, you are dealing with a budget that you need to stay under.. IMO, the best set-up for that room would be M60's-QS8's-VP150. but, that is not one of the selections you gave..

i think you would be best suited with M60's, so i would use whatever combo you can put with them. i havent heard the QS4's or the VP 100, but i know i have never heard anyone complain about them.

good luck in building your HT. i think you will be very pleased with which ever axiom speakers you get!!

I vote for either no 1 or no 2!!!(naturally)

I have M50s and simply love them; M50s are good,comfortable,pleasant all around speakers great for Music, TV, and Movies. Nuff Said!

That said, for mostly movies; probably no 3. M60s live for action movies and serious music listening. If cost isn't a major issue, then the VP150 and qs8s' is probably a better bet yet, considering the size of your room.

Welcome Aboard!! You'll get lots more opinions!!

Unless I'm mistaken, you haven't heard the M50s, either.

In reply to:

no, and i havent heard you complain about them either..

i cant help it if i am partial to the 60's.. to be honest, i have been really wanting to hear some 22's used as fronts. i think if i was gonna go with a bookshelf, that is what i would get.

As soon as I move into the new house, I will move my current M22's as surrounds into their new duty of mains for the small HT I am going to put upstairs for my son...that is after I get my QS8's for the downstairs greatroom HT.

You can plan a trip to Austin and hear them...

60 - 50 = 10

So the 60s have 10 more than the 50s, right? But 10 what?
